Creative Ways to Inject Romance into Your Marriage

By Dr James Dobson

 

Are you tired of that same old dinner and a movie?

 

Are you sick of watching mindless television or yet another

boring soccer game? Maybe it’s time to come up with some

creative ways to date your spouse.

 

Dave and Claudia Arp have written a book entitled 52 Dates

for You and Your Mate. In it, they list some great creative ways

to put a little romance into your marriage.

 

How about a gourmet cooking date? You choose a recipe

you've never cooked before, make a grocery list, shop together

and then you chop, stir and simmer to your hearts’ content.

 

How about a marriage history date? This is a time you set apart

to remember and catalogue some of the good times you’ve shared

together.

 

There’s nothing better to rekindle the old romantic feelings

than to stroll down memory lane, look at pictures and write

a marriage journal or just reminisce together.

 

There are many ways to break out of the rut and bring

a new freshness and energy into the marriage. All it takes

is a little creativity.
